My name is Amy-Le Owens and as of October 2013 I was nineteen years old. My
passion for art and literature was a seed planted when I was at a very young
age, as some of my earliest memories are of my mother teaching me to paint bowls
of fruit and reading me Charles Dickens and C.S Lewis novels at night until I
fell asleep.

My interest and love for art and literature has only flourished since,
and has influenced me and guided me in many ways. After becoming vegan, my
art and literature mostly began to focus around animal abuse and
exploitation, the destruction of our planet, and the devastation of third
world countries, as I wanted to raise awareness of the heartache these
issues contained, and show people how they could make a difference.

At present, I am completing a novel and running an upcycled clothing
business called Phoenix Apparel, with my mother. As well as creating
one-off, upcycled clothes, the business sells my art work printed on
garments, of which a percentage of sales will go to a charity that the image
corresponds with.
